Details
The parish of Sant'Andrea Corsini, located in the Gregna district of Sant'Andrea, a small village beyond the Grande Raccordo Anulare between the Appian and Tuscolana roads, was built in the Jubilee Year of 2000, one of the 15 churches donated to the city of Rome. In the adjacent gardens, you can see the remains of a Roman cistern, which have been preserved by the archaeological superintendency in the passage. The Anio vetus (or "Old Aniene") was the second aqueduct built to supply water to the city of Rome, after the Appian Aqueduct, built about forty years earlier. The adjective vetus (old) was only attributed to it when, about three centuries later, another "Anio aqueduct," the novus, was built.
